About BJ’s Restaurants
BJ’s Restaurants is a popular casual dining chain with over 200 locations across the U.S. Known for their deep-dish pizzas and house-brewed beers, they employ thousands of tipped workers nationwide.
Who May Qualify?
You may have a valid claim if you worked at BJ’s and experienced any of the following:
- Were forced to share tips with managers or non-tipped kitchen staff
- Were not informed how the tip pool was distributed

Why This Matters: The Impact of Unlawful Tip Pooling
When employers misuse tip pooling practices, service workers like servers and bartenders lose hard-earned income. Key problems include:
- Tips going to ineligible staff (like managers or back-of-house employees)
- Lack of transparency in how tips are tracked and redistributed
- Loss of wages due to improper deductions or withheld payments
- Invalid tip credits, which could entitle you to full minimum wage reimbursement
What You Can Do
If you believe your rights were violated, you can take action:
- Keep records of hours worked and tips earned
- Report violations to labor enforcement agencies
- Consult legal professionals to explore compensation options
There are no upfront legal costs, and your participation could help recover wages and stop unlawful practices.
